Features
4 performance ranges LDB, LDC, LDD and LDE each with different reduction ratios Simplex drive units with space saving vertical motor Multiplex drive units of different performance ratings with horizontally mounted motor Double seal of plunger rod to prevent leackage from the drive unit oil to the pump head Multiplex drive units with common oilbath and no radial shaft seal rings between the drive elements (less wear parts)
Advantages
1 The principle: The LEWA variable eccentric drive element is a straight crank drive element with direct transmission of the drive torque from the worm gear via the hollow shaft (1) to the variable eccentric (2). Axial shifting of the skew slotted sliding shaft (3) radially shifts the variable eccentric. The stroke length of the crank shaft correspondingly changes. A reproducible setting from zero to the maximum stroke length is possible
Long service life Low maintenance costs, long service intervals High mechanical efficiency Extremely overload safe Minimum adjusting forces for manual and servo stroke adjustment Linear, fully reproducible precision stroke adjustment Adjustment possible during operation and at rest
Drivers

From simplex to multiplex pump: LEWA ecoflow pumps offer unlimited combinations
Common oil bath: LEWA ecoflow multiplex pumps do not require radial shaft seals between the elements
LEWA ecoflow diaphragm pumps are the safe and hermetically tight alternative for medium to high pressures. LEWA diaphragm pump heads present an economical solution for a variety of metering applications. Today, ecologically damaging, dangerous, sensitive or abrasive fluids are metered with zero leakage diaphragm pumps only. Damage of one diaphragm, e. g. by wear, is signalled reliably. In spite of this the pump remains leak-tight and operation can continue for a limited period of time.
suction stroke
The principle using the M 900 series as an example: The reciprocating plunger displaces hydraulic fluid causing movement of the diaphragm and a like displacement of process fluid. The diaphragm separates hydraulic fluid and the fluid conveyed and seals the operating chamber tightly towards the environment. A pressure limiting valve prevents overload of the pump. The internal leakage at the plunger is balanced by the leakage replenishment valve. Thus the diaphragm always operates in an optimal operating range. This diaphragm control guarantees the very high operational safety of LEWA diaphragm pump heads M 900
Extremely economical Hermetically tight, zero leakage Protected against overload by adjustable pressure limiting valve Sandwich diaphragm with diaphragm condition monitoring system as standard design Durable sandwich diaphragm for minimum maintenance costs Absolutely safe dry operation High metering accuracy Separation of hydraulic fluid and drive element oil Gentle conveying of sensitive fluids

Plunger pump heads are a good choice for simple applications with non-critical, harmless fluids. For critical, abrasive, toxic or flammable fluids diaphragm pump heads are recommended.
Economical solution for simple metering applications Standard plunger of oxide ceramics offer optimum conditions concerning wear and chemical resistance
Options For special problem solutions a number of options and special solutions are available: Heating or cooling jacket Fully heated pump head with accessible valves for melts Flushing connection Duty matched plunger seals for the most different fluids
The principle using K 110 and K 210 plunger pump heads as an example:
12-98/885.4.eps
The reciprocating plunger directly displaces the process fluid. As the plunger and plunger seal are wetted, the best performance for the application is achieved by optimal selection of plunger material and seal design
The plunger seal selection is dependent on the fluid, pressure and temperature
12-98/K511/1216.eps
One of many possible options: e. g. pump head K 500 with total heating jacket and accessible valves
For non-critical fluids: plunger pump heads are mainly used for simple, non-critical fluids
Valves for any requirement In addition to the pump head type, the proper valve design is of major importance in the suitability of the pump for the service. LEWAs ecoflow program offers a wide range of valve designs for the most different applications. Count on our decades of experience to assure a correct valve selection. Depending on valve 01-99/301.1.eps size and the corresponding requirements ball-, plate- or cone valves of different materials are used. Ball valves Standard valves for nominal sizes up to 15 mm. Optimal flow characteristics and reliable function even with contaminated fluids. Plate valves Standard valves for nominal sizes 25 mm and up and pressures to 200 bar. Suitable for high stroking frequencies due to the low mass of the plate. Cone valves Standard valves for nominal sizes 25 mm and up and for high pressures.
Options
Valve parts with low wear Hardened valve parts or designs of hard metal, oxide ceramics or silicon nitride Double ball valves for even more safety for small sizes Slurry valves of different designs, e. g. with seat and sealing element of hard metal

The trouble-free function of a metering pump depends mainly on correct installation for the application and process fluid characteristics. Properly selected and sized accessories turn the pump into a functional system. Your success is our success please consider our advice. We can also offer duty-matched accessories or a complete, proven skid system with suction and discharge pipe line.
Safety and pressure retaining valves Safety valves They prevent pressure overload of pump and system. Metering pumps are positive displacement devices and always must be protected against dead-heading if there is any possibility of blockage of the discharge line during operation such as sedimentation buildup in the pipeline, accidental closure of a shutoff valve, etc.. Hydraulically actuated diaphragm pumps are protected by a pressure limiting valve integral to their hydraulic circuit. Back pressure valves They prevent unconrolled flow through the pump (over-metering) when due to static or dynamic reasons the pressure at the suction flange is higher than at the discharge flange. Usually the retaining pressures required a low. Condition monitoring Condition monitoring systems allow the monitoring of the pump and the recording and evaluation of suitable physical values. Mobile offline as well as local online systems with continuous data recording and evaluation are possible.
Dirt traps Many fluids contain contaminants which can disrupt the function of the pump valves ranging from minor flow fluctuations to complete failure of the metering process. This can be avoided with the installation of a strainer in the suction line.
Pulsation dampeners Metering pumps have a pulsating flow. During each stroke, the column of fluid in the suction and the discharge lines must be accelerated and then decelerated again. LEWA has the know-how and the accessories for an optimum match of pump and system. Pulsation dampening can be required for two reasons: To reduce high, non-permissible pressure fluctuations To create a nearly continuous flow The simplest and most economical way to meet either requirement is the use of pulsation dampeners. The use of a multiplex pump will achieve a similar result.
